[Verse 2 - lupe fiasco]

He said he was just so tired, of them fighting our water with fire

He said that we need something drier, to really impress the empire

Funny cause he really hated war, but why we went to war is what he really hated more

Said it's silly how that our schools make us stupid and our jobs make us poor

When he came back from the corps, is when he really got serious

Read a lot of books, started acting all mysterious

The va is what really made him furious, told him his condition didn't exist, period

That's why he started that petition, went all the way to washington, said they didn't listen to a white male christian

He just laughed when they took our father's pension

He said that you gotta act in opposites, helps you hide your tracks when you stand up to the dominant

But I knew he felt bad, told me later was the saddest day he ever had

To see our dad so hopeless, that was the turning point that's what really gave him focus

I didn't agree with everything, some of it made sense

But never thought that he would do something like this

[Verse 3 - lupe fiasco]

I know you don't watch but your brother was on tv

Couple guys in black suits came around to see me

They went through all your book's and took all of your cds

My granny said you'd be all right, she saw it in the tea leaves

All the operations going well, had a lotta contact from all the other cells

Everybody, everywhere is calling you a hero

They going through the rubble, but the body count is zero

It's all violent and bloodless, I know the government really loves this

This account is hacked, you know how to keep in touch

I'll never see you again, I hate you so much

[Bridge]

There's something inside you

It's hard to explain

They're talking about you boy

But you're still the same
